One of my favourite things of living in Sweden is just going to some fresh snow and walking on it and feeling and hearing that cruuuunch crunch crunch crunch crunch. Perfection! ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

Dang, I wish I could pull off combos like that! Maybe I'd still be playing Silksong instead of putting it off!

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, thatโ€™s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

I think there's a powerup/inventory item somewhere that gets rid of the knockback! That helps a lot.

Glad you're enjoying it though! Keen to try Nine Sols once I'm done raging at Silksong. :)

Today I noticed the Apple Music version of a bunch of Radiohead albums has much better dynamic range than my lossless CD tracks! Nice to see!

there's two types of photography perverts: the type who wants swirly bokeh and soft portraits and buys a Leica lens for the price of a new luxury sedan, and the type who wants swirly bokeh and soft portraits who buys a lens from the Soviet Union called Glory To The Industrial Worker 57 for $40

This used to grind my gears so much! God forbid car drivers have to share space with anyone.

I can't get over all the cute little houses you find over here. They look straight out of a videogame or fairytale. No wonder Miyazaki used this town as a reference!
